Zhao Ji wanted to laugh as soon as he saw Wu Zhi's miserable expression.
Then he waved to him repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
"When the time comes, if those Confucian ministers have the ability to interfere with you, I will protect you to the end."
"In this way, you can rest assured."
"What I'm most concerned about now is how long it will take for me to see Yinliang."
Wu Zhi turned around twice on the snow-covered court.
"From the initial project site selection, product manufacturing, to the final advertising, establish the most suitable sales model for this product."
"If we want to make a profit with this set of plans, it will have to be at least a year later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ji's eyes widened.
His face was also full of displeasure.
"One year?
It actually takes that long?”
"But I need money now!"
"If there is no money, how will the pensions be paid to the soldiers who died in battle?"
"And what about the subsequent construction of my garden?"
At this moment, Wu Zhi's brain was running rapidly.
At the same time, he also kicked the snow on the ground with his feet.
After a while, he came up with a solution.
"Guan Jia, in fact, these two things are not a problem. Just listen to me and tell you in detail."
"As for the garden construction, we can't actually rush it now."
"Because right now, the envoys from the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are in our court, and they are causing a huge quarrel."
"During this period, it is impossible for the official family to be in a good mood."
"In this way, your interest in personally supervising the construction of the garden will be reduced by more than half."
"Besides, you don't have much money on hand right now, so you can only build little by little."
"Not to mention the long construction period, it will inevitably be criticized by officials in the court."
"But what if we wait a year?"
"The official family will gain hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one fell swoop."
"When the time comes, we can complete it in one go and make the garden look like a fairyland."
"As for the pensions of those thousands of soldiers?
This is easy to handle.”
"As far as I know, many important officials in the imperial court like to go to that place of fireworks to have fun."
"When we go to court the next day, the officials might as well issue a ban."
"That is, in order to maintain the dignity of the officials of the Celestial Dynasty, those officials are prohibited from hanging out in those romantic places."
"But at the same time, it does not directly stipulate what punishment will be received if caught once."
"In the next seven days, officials are not allowed to take any action."
"After the officials in the court relax their vigilance, you can send some trustworthy and familiar people to wander around the brothels."
"Specially keep an eye on those officials who dare to commit crimes."
"Whenever the day comes when the most officials appear in the brothel's bar at the same time, you will mobilize the imperial guards to close the net and catch fish."
"When that time comes, the officials will show up again and kill them hard."
This Zhao Ji also risked his life to make money.
Once he heard that Wu Zhi's plan was feasible, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
But then he realized another problem.
"Wu Aiqing, what if those officials say they have no money?"
"What if they all claim to be honest officials and can't get much money out of them?"
"Wu Aiqing, have you considered this?"
Wu Zhi cursed secretly in his heart.
People often say that if you clear the prefecture in three years, you will earn one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
Will those important officials in the court still have no money?
What a joke!
"This sounds easy to handle. The officials just need to find a typical example from the group of officials who can't pay the fine."
"Then just demote him three levels."
"In this case, I don't believe those officials, and they dare not obediently hand over the silver."
Zhao Ji nodded with a smile on his face.
I finally approved the idea in my heart.
But then, he realized another problem.
"Wu Aiqing, is your move a bit like killing the goose that lays the egg?"
"Just think about it, after such a rectification, we can indeed extract a large amount of money from those officials in a very short period of time."
"But from now on, those officials will probably no longer dare to go to brothels to have fun."
"In this way, will the tax I can collect from those entertainment venues every year be reduced accordingly?"
In fact, Wu Zhi had thought of this concern before giving Zhao Ji this strategy.
"Officials don't have to worry. Most of the court officials won't spend much money when they go to entertainment venues such as brothels."
"Because the hidden wealth of those high-ranking officials can bring a lot of benefits to those brothels."
"Therefore, those in charge of the brothel hookups are also very willing to receive those high-ranking officials."
"For example, after those high-ranking officials protect the brothel goulan, will some local competitors not dare to compete viciously with him?"
"Maybe I can pay less tax accordingly."
"So there are more or less collusions of interest between those high-ranking officials of the imperial court and ordinary brothel operators."
"As a result, their consumption there every time is quite limited."
When the problem that had been lingering in Zhao Ji's mind for a long time was solved by Wu Zhi in a few words.
Zhao Ji immediately felt much more comfortable.
Gradually, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
But suddenly he realized another problem, so he turned his head and looked at Wu Zhi seriously.
"In view of your dedication to this matter, I decided to give you 20% of the shares in this industry, but this is only temporary."
"After one year, when the operation of this industry is stable, all the shares will be transferred to my name. Did you know?"
"At that time, I will send a trustworthy eunuch to contact you."
When Wu Zhi heard this, he was completely stunned.
I couldn't help but secretly think to myself, I will provide the start-up capital, and I will take care of the operation and promotion.
You guy, you don't care about anything except protecting me.
And when it comes time to divide the money, you still have to pay 80%.
That's it, it's temporary.
After the operation is stable, you actually want to take away the entire industry?
Are you a little too shameless?
The role I played in this matter was worse than a tool?
Although Wu Zhi was extremely depressed, in the blink of an eye, he thought of another thing.
Now, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom are constantly tossing around in the court.
And looking at the situation, the trend is getting worse.
